This league will put to the test the notion that the second catcher will not get hurt if you only have two:

1. 200,000,000 live draft 28 rounds(not for the faint of heart).

2. Only two catchers per roster(injury cannot be on "1"(essentially when looking at the card the roll must not be on 2 or 12).

3. Pitchers must all be under 2 million. Only 10 pitchers per roster allowed. All pitchers must be at least 2l or 2r. All your LH pitchers must be the same direction. All RH pitchers must be the same direction(essentially all rh pitchers would have to be 2l or above or 2r and above). Prevents a team from having a lefty who is a 2l and another who is a 2r.

4. Everyone plays in Fenway 67.

5. Second catcher must be slotted in the dh role to maximize injury opportunities.

All rules subject to change(and until finalized everyone is free to back out/we will reconfirm participation once rules are finalized). Rules will change to the extent pbtr says they would not answer the question.

Very willing to amend any as necessary to draw interest. Designed it to be the ultimate in extreme and will work down as needed.

A lot of looking but no leaps. Is this just plain too looney or can it be salvaged with tweeking?

I think there's not much interest because there's not many skeptics out there.

I noticed 2nd catcher issue when I was running a sim on my PC version and realized after I turned autoplay on that I forgot to put a backup catcher on the team I put together. Expecting the worst, I looked at my team stats after the season finished running and was surprised to see my catcher had caught all but 3 innings all season. I ran about 10 more seasons and got the same result.
